What's new?

Long-term and Sustainable Management of Artificial Water Bodies By comprehensive micro-invasive aeration along the entire watercourse surface, the environment is transformed from oxygen-poor to oxygen-rich. The Results are a degradation of organic matter, a permanent binding of pollutants and nutrients to the sediment, an algae/cyanobacteria avoidance, an oxygen enrichment and a reduction of harmful greenhouse gases.

WCC2022 Leipzig - World Canals Conference 2022

30.05. - 03.06.2022

Since 1988, the World Canals Conference WCC has been an international platform for inland waterways under the auspices of Inland Waterways International (IWI). This UKbased organisation promotes the conservation, development and sustainable management of inland waterways.

Every year, the WCC brings together hundreds of experts, scientists, representatives from politics and administration, associations, companies, water sports enthusiasts and water tourists from all over the world, most recently in Ireland in 2018, in China in 2019 and in the USA in 2021.

The WCC offers numerous opportunities to exchange experiences, to present regional know podium and to be inspired by international insights.

Lineare Belüftung am Gewässergrund

World Canal Conference in Germany:

In 2022 the WCC will take place in Germany for the first time. It will be hosted by the city of Leipzig and its partners, and there will be a large number of supporters from all over Germany. Around 400 participants from all over the world are expected. The attractive and central venue is the Congress Hall at the Leipzig Zoo. Leipzig and its partners are organising this important conference with the aim of setting new impulses for the positive further development of the city of Leipzig, the region, Central Germany and Germany.

The aim is to raise awareness in Europe and worldwide of the transformation and extraordinary diversity of culture and landscapes in Central Germany. We are part of it!

Some like ice - some don't. For fish in shallow waters, ice can become a problem. The aquatic habitat of a pond is a versatile habitat that is influenced by many factors. Leaf litter and fish food or the water filling itself form the nutrient basis - they are the basis for plant growth, but on the other hand they also form organic sludge layers at the bottom of the pond. If it freezes for a very long time, as it did this winter, and there is also - obscuring - snow on the ice, it can become critical for still waters, plants and organic matter decompose with considerable oxygen consumption. As long as the pond gets enough light, plants produce a lot of oxygen under ice during the day through photosynthesis, even in winter. If there is no light in the pond, the previously green parts of the plants also consume additional oxygen through decomposition. For the fish in the pond, oxygen then becomes scarce; carp die if the oxygen level is permanently below 2 mg/l, and trout die if the oxygen level is permanently below 3 mg/l. The problem of oxygen deficiency can be further aggravated - as can be seen in the picture, fish die in droves if the living conditions are not suitable. With linear basic aeration, lakes and ponds are efficiently supplied with air bubbles that remain in the water for a long time: they not only release oxygen to the fish, but also continuously break down organic sludge, thus preventing the formation of gas that is toxic to fish.
